Buy Crushed Stone in Hood River, Oregon

If you are building a driveway or installing a French drain in Hood River, choosing the right crushed stone size matters for the finished job. Many buyers start with 3/4" Crushed Stone for base work and #57 Crushed Stone for drainage.

Hood River gets about 36 inches of precipitation a year, so proper drainage is important in any outdoor project.

Crushed Stone Sizes Available for Your Hood River Job

Crushed stone comes in sizes that suit different layers of a project. Smaller sizes work as a setting bed for pavers, while larger stone handles base loads and erosion control.

Choosing the Right Crushed Stone for Common Jobs

The table below shows a budget-conscious option and a long-lasting option for each project. Pick the size that matches the load and the depth needed.

How Hood River's Climate and Soil Affect Your Work

About 72 days a year bring at least a tenth of an inch of rain, so you want the delivery to land on a stretch of firm ground. Scheduling a dry window helps the truck unload without sinking.

Soils mapped in the Hood River area take water in slowly and shed a fair amount across the surface. That means a deeper drainage layer earns its place under any base or paver system.

About 85 days a year drop below 32F, which shortens the work window. Winters here are cold enough to move an unsettled base, so compaction is worth the extra pass.

Estimating How Much Crushed Stone You Need

Calculate the cubic feet of the area and multiply by the depth of the stone layer. Use our crushed stone calculator to convert that volume into tons based on the specific size you order.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crushed Stone Delivery in Hood River

What is the smallest load of crushed stone you deliver to Hood River?

Gravel Monkey does not list a minimum tonnage on the website. Typical loads are between 1 and 40-plus tons. Hood River gets about 17 inches of snowfall a year, which can affect scheduling in winter, but you can choose a delivery date at least 3 business days out.

Does the soil around Hood River change how much crushed stone I need?

Yes, because the ground freezing here is real but moderate, you may need a thicker crushed stone base to resist frost heave. Using the crushed stone calculator with a conservative depth estimate gives a safe tonnage.

What size crushed stone should I choose?

Match the size to the job. For base layers under driveways or slabs, use 3/4" or 1"-1 1/2" Crushed Stone. For drainage and French drains, #57 or #67 Stone works best. For paver beds, 3/8" or #10 Screenings give a smooth, compacted surface.
